A Trip to Spitzbergen
by Kees van Wieringen/Ariλlla Bijl
Two brothers and a friend sailed Aquarius, a Grainger-designed 33 trimaran,
1,700-miles from Amsterdam to the top of Europe. At 68°N in July, it was
possible to take pictures at night without a flash, because it never got dark.
The tri is described in detail at the end of the article by owner Hugo van
Wierigen.
The Sound of Melting Ice
by Bart Sikkens/Ariλlla Bajl
What goes up, must come down so Aquarius had to come down from the top of
Europe back to Amsterdam, this time with a new crew who flew one way. And yes,
the ice makes a sound when it melts.
